5. Audience 

VS employees, other State and Federal agencies, and members of the public.

6. Guidance 

A. General 

Title 9 of the Code of Federal Regulations (9 CFR) section 93.308(c) regulates the 

approval of permanent privately owned quarantine facilities for imported horses. 

These quarantine facilities must ensure adequate safeguards are in place to monitor 

the health status of the horses in quarantine, and to prevent the transmission of animal 

disease or disease agents into, within, or from the facility. VS must inspect and approve 

a proposed quarantine facility for imported horses before its initial use to ensure the 

facility complies with the standards in 9 CFR 93.308(c) and this guidance. VS must 

reinspect an approved facility annually to ensure it is in good repair and continues to 

meet all relevant standards associated with the compliance agreement required under 

9 CFR 308(c)(2)1.

The quarantine facility must provide the necessary level of biosecurity for holding 

horses in an indoor, vector-proof environment before the animals’ entry (release) into 

the United States. Quarantine services associated with such facilities include testing 

and observation for regulated diseases, other livestock diseases exotic to the United 

States, and any other communicable diseases.

Applications for quarantine facilities may not be approved solely to import the facility 

operators’ horses, or to provide services to only one broker or a select few brokers 

without valid justification confirming that there is no conflict of interest as described 

in 9 CFR 93.308(c)(1)(iv)(C)(3). The operator or person responsibly connected with the 

business of the quarantine facility cannot act as a paid agent (broker) for importing or 

subsequently selling imported horses. A person is deemed to be responsibly connected 

with the business if he or she has an ownership, mortgage, or lease interest in the 

facility’s physical plant; is a partner, officer, director, holder, or owner of ten (10) 

1 In consistency with current VS nomenclature and practice, the compliance agreement will be referred to as a 

Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the remainder of this document.

percent or more of its voting stock; or is an employee in a managerial or executive 

capacity. 

Facility operators must self-certify each year at the renewal of the MOU that they or a 

person responsibly connected to the business of the quarantine facility are not in 

conflict with the regulations or terms listed in the MOU which state neither party may 

act as a paid agent for the importation of or subsequently selling equine animals. 

B. Specific Instructions 

1) An applicant (the owner or operator) seeking approval of a quarantine facility must 

submit a written application to VS Field Operations, Port Services (PS) via mail at 

4700 River Road, Unit 39, Riverdale, MD 20737-1231, or via email to the port office 

nearest to the facility (see section 7.B). Applicants should submit requests for 

approval to PS at least one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days before applying 

for local building permits.

2) The application must include:

a. The applicant’s full name and mailing address.

b. The facility’s location and street address.

c. Blueprints or other technical drawings for the facility. Blueprints must include 

dimensions of every stall.

d. A description of the financial resources available for the construction, 

operation, and maintenance of the facility.

b. Confirmation in writing from an active airline company or companies indicating 

their commitment to routinely transport imported horses to the airport 

associated with the proposed import quarantine.

4) Procedure for VS Approval of Facilities

a. The Veterinarian in Charge (VIC) of the VS Port Office assigned to oversee the 

quarantine request reviews the initial application and the accompanying 

documentation. If the application is complete, the VIC consults with the VS Port 

Services Director and VS Strategy and Policy Live Animal Imports (LAI) Director 

on the feasibility of the request. The VIC may notify the facility’s State Animal 

Health Official. 

b. The VIC must determine if sufficient VS personnel would be available to oversee 

the proposed facility.

c. If PS and LAI determine that an application merits further consideration, the 

applicant must enter into a service agreement with PS to cover costs associated 

with further evaluation of the application and facility. User fees for these 

services are listed in 9 CFR 130.30. A new USDA cooperative service agreement 

must be established using a cashier’s or a personal check.

d. PS informs the applicant in writing of the application review results.

e. PS or a VS designee must inspect the facility to determine compliance with 9 

CFR 93.308, this document’s criteria, and the attached checklist (Appendix 1).

1. The facility must meet any additional requirements imposed by the APHIS 

Administrator to ensure that the quarantine of horses is adequate to 

determine the horses’ health status and prevent the transmission of 

livestock diseases into, within, and from the facility.

2. The VIC forwards the inspection report to the VS Port Services Director and 

LAI Director for concurrence, then notifies the operator in writing of the 

approval, with a copy to LAI.

f. After VS has approved the facility, the applicant and VS must enter into a MOU

(Appendix 2) before horses can enter the facility. The facility operator and the

VS Port Services Director must sign the MOU.

3. The facility operator may coordinate local, offsite incineration, using the 

nearest available facility. VS personnel must have direct oversight of any 

incineration at local sites away from the facility.

4. All waste (including waste generated during transport) must be disposed of 

as regulated garbage. Alternatively, waste may be held onsite until all 

horses in the same shipment have completed quarantine, then disposed of 

as domestic waste.

Waste from horses refused entry due to non-negative test results for EIA, 

equine piroplasmosis, dourine, or glanders must also be disposed of as 

regulated waste.

f. PS must approve the facility’s plan to dispose of any carcasses of animals that 

die during quarantine to prevent disease spread.

g. The facility must be able to control surface drainage and effluent into, within, 

and from the facility to prevent the spread of disease. If more than one lot is 

present in the quarantine facility, each holding area must have a separate 

drainage system to prevent cross-contamination of lots.

h. After each use of the facility, VS personnel must reinspect the facility to verify 

the operator has cleaned and disinfected it adequately to ensure compliance 

with quarantine guidelines. Direct VS supervision of each cleaning and 

disinfection is not required once the operator has demonstrated how the

procedures will be carried out and VS has established a record of compliance 

verifying strict adherence to the procedures.

5) Security

a. The facility and security fence are kept locked and secure.

b. The facility displays easily visible signs at all entrances designating it as a 

quarantine area that prohibits entry of visitors or other unauthorized

other than VS personnel breaks the seals, the facility operator must notify VS 

immediately. VS personnel must then immediately account for all horses in the 

facility.

e. If a communicable disease is diagnosed in the quarantined horses, the VIC and 

LAI Director may require that a bonded security company provide coverage to 

ensure the security of the facility.

f. The facility must always either be guarded by a bonded security company or 

have an Underwriters Laboratory-approved silent electronic security system 

that contacts a remote monitoring site staffed by local police or bonded 

security monitoring personnel.
